It's a tool kind of like a gun. You can do positive things(Hunt for food) or negative things(slaghter people). It really depends on how you use it. You could easily use this for remote administration or for destroying entire networks of data. It's all up to you.
I know, people should be able to collect on their work, but...
Some software is priced _way_ beyond reach. Especially for countries that don't use USD.
Let's use Canada as an example. Consider that most software is shipped from the US. Now remember we pay alot of extra shipping. x=software y=shipping in US Now you have x+y^2
Then the exchange rate kicks in
(x+y^2)*1.4
This is even worse in countries with a really weak dollar
A jury might give you money. Let's say you do and get $10^6. Most school boards are on a hair-line budget. That much money will seriosly affect education for everyone in the entire school board(maybe others as well).
So now you've got a cool million and every other student, who aside from being traumatized, will be screwed because their school can't even afford heat(maybe a bit overexagerrated)
This is truly pathetic. In the US the gov spends shit loads of cash on a military(I know you need one, but you don't need one that kill every person on the planet). In Canada(BC actually), they're thinking of closing schools from lack of funds($1mill-$3mill CDN), but they gave the natives hundreds of millions just because they have darker skin.
This is all well and good but we need Alpah Centauri for Linux. If only AC was ported no less than 5% of computers running windows would switch to Linux:)
But for Linux to become a viable (read more than 10 games) gaming platform we need Linux only games. I mean more than xbill.
While Tux: search for hearing is great and all(must buy Voodoo2...), we need a major/commercial release.

The numbers are linked to specific computers, you can however have multiple sites per IP.
There is nothing in this article that has any truth. PS Does anyone believe that the Melissa virus caused $480,000 worth of damage? I seriously doubt even $20,000.
Nice idea, but it will never be implemented:( I bet these contries would rather have the missiles flying away to some unknown destination than blowing up a military complex/harbour. Well it would be an incentive to get things fixed at least.
I'm sorry but KDE 1.1 is *way* better than *anything* M$ has shown me to date. 3.1- not bad, not good, but more on the bad side 95/98- Better, actually not than bad, but unstable KDE 1.0- pretty damn good, about par with 95/98 KDE 1.1- much better, lower mem usage, much prettier...
Imagine combining the speech unit from these with the moving parts of Minstorm. A robot(or whatever) that blinks it's eyes and sings^H^H^H^H^H warns you of errors.
We all know that the tax isn't to compensate musicians or dicourage pirating. Musicians make $1-2 per $20 CD. People will still pirate. The big music corps will just absorb the money, the musicians will never see it. Now all ~30 million Canadians will be spending an extra $2.50 to line the pokets of a few executives. I wonder if this law applies to DVDs?
Slashdot Mirror
A new poll idea:
Which is the kewlest Mascot/logo

Get to Firaxis or Alpha Centauri
And demand a port of SMAC

What's the executable called?
Portable Linux box :)
A car sized Beowolf
...
any other ideas?
Kipling - [n] Some(one, thing) that tries to leech of a culture without being a part of said culture.

I want to see ultraHLE. Where can I get a copy?
When can we get K2.2 in source RPM?
Why are there only FPS games being ported to Linux. Everyone, get your asses to alphacentauri.com and demand a Linux port.

What about Foster(?) Tyrell?
